This package provides a object oriented API to access PKCS#11 modules. An
application can access PKCS#11 through this API rather than working directly
with the <code>iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper</code> package. If an application uses
this object oriented API, it does not need to work with any of the classes or
interfaces from the <code>iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.wrapper</code> package at all. All
the functionalitiy is available on both levels. This package just provides the
'functional' components of the API; all objects are in the <code>
iaik.pkcs.pkcs11.object</code> package. In principal, every application starts
using this package by calling <code> Module.getInstance(String)</code> and
passing the name of the underlying PKCS#11 module as a parameter; e.g.
"C:\Program Files\Drivers\myPkcs11Driver.dll". Do not forget to call the <code>
initialize(InitializeArgs)</code> method on this module before calling any other
method. Even though it is object oriented, it is a relatively straight-forward
object model of PKCS#11.
